My art practice and research explores how we perceive and experience the world through our embodied interactions with the physical world. I combine sculptural and craft techniques with printmaking and photography, making objects and images about the interrelationship between human and non-human agencies, the sense of touch, and the body-as-object.
Recently, I have been exploring haptics as the interface between the subjective and objective, the self and the other. Engaging with the language of Phenomenology and Materialism, I envision the touch encounter through a material language of sculpture, moving image and expanded print.
I create Japanese woodcut prints, which depict shifting multi-layered forms, printed in layers of transparent watercolour. My work also includes digitally printing photographs and paintings onto silk and Japanese papers and rendering these into sculptural forms with wax, pewter, resin, natural fibres and other materials.
